The '''Teram Kangri''' group is a mountain massif in the remote [[Siachen Muztagh]], a subrange of the [[Karakoram]] [[mountain range|range]]. The high point of the group, and of the Siachen Muztagh, is Teram Kangri I. The peak lies on the boundary between [[China]] and the disputed [[Siachen Glacier]] region near the line of control between [[India]] and [[Pakistan]]. The northeast side of the peak is in Chinese-controlled territory, the southwest side in the disputed Siachen area currently controlled by India.
Teram Kangri I was first climbed on August 10, 1975 by a [[Japan]]ese expedition led by H. Katayama, which obtained a permit from the Govt. of Pakistan and made the long approach via [[Bilafond La]] (the Saltoro Pass). They climbed the SW ridge of Teram Kangri II and then took the East ridge to the top. Teram Kangri II was climbed on August 12 and 13 by six Japanese climbers.

Teram Kangri II (7,407 m) was climbed in 1978 by an Indian Army expedition led by [[Narendra Kumar (mountaineer)|Colonel Narendra Kumar]] in the first move by India to lay claim to the [[Siachen Glacier]] area. Teram Kangri I has been climbed once since, in 1992. The expedition approached through Indian territory.

Teram Kangri III {{Coord|35|35|59|N|77|02|53|E|}} (7,382 m [[List of highest mountains|ranked 73rd]], [[Topographic prominence|Prominence]] = 500 m) was first climbed in 1979 by a Japanese expedition led by S. Hanada. Their route crossed over Bilafond La, much like the first ascent of Teram Kangri I.<ref name=pb_tkiii>{{cite peakbagger|pid=18667|name=Teram Kangri III, India/China|accessdate=2015-03-08}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blankonthemap.free.fr/3_geographie/33_karakoram/337_siachen/siachen_karakoram_range3.htm#tera3|title = Sherpi Kangri I / II, Singhi Kangri (Mont Rose) (M), Tawiz Peak (Amulet Peak),Teram Kangri group, Teram Kangri I / II / III / IV, Thugu Peak}}</ref>
